BE THE 1ST TO HAVE X2!

 

In an effort to continuously improve our products, Hydro Grow is making alterations to our design that will allow for significant performance enhancements over previous Extreme (X1) models. Due to our business model wherein we only offer the latest and most efficient technologies to our customers, we will no longer be offering the X1 version (red casing) of our lights for sale.


The X2 lights will use a re-designed silver casing that will be slimmer and leaner, with the same coverage as X1 models. X2 will use a new version of the Hydro Grow X-lens that is 25% more powerful than X1 (shown below), and because of our incredible thermal management we've bumped the power on all 3W "X-PRO" models an additional 15%! That's a total increase around 35% compared to X1 for no increase in cost! Get your X2 LED Grow Light today and find out what the hype is all about!

Extreme (X) Lenstm technology changing the face of led grow lights for an entire industry.

the foundation of any led grow light is the led. more important than the led
however, is the optic used to direct light from it. standard led grow lights
use a led attached to a pcb (printed circuit board), with a small lens covering
each individual chip. this design proved capable, yet despite the availability
of 60 degree, 90 degree, and 120 degree lenses to focus output, a fair
majority of the light emitted from the lens fell outside it's primary
"viewing angle". Observing this, hydro grow sought out a way to re-
focus this light and direct it back towards the plants where it can be used.

 

led's have been used in many products during the past 20 years, including flashlights, street
lights, and Stage Lights. One thing
all of these products shared is that
they utilized a second, and much larger
lens over the led to re-focus light. it was found during testing that this lens not only altered the projection properties
of light, but also amplified output. observing this, hydro grow began testing on over 20 different types of secondary lenses to pick the one with the best output characteristics for led grow lights.

intensify our patent- pending 21-led light engine confi-
guration. PAR testing co-
mparing our 126W PRO
to our 126X-PRO, showed that the x-lens
produced nearly double
the coverage at over
twice the intensity, equating to 4x the output!
our patent-pending X-lens is the
culmination of 4 years of ongoing
development at hydro grow,
designed to increase intensity
and coverage area simultane
-ously. The X-lens is a single
piece of optics grade pmma
acrylic, the same type used in
corrective eyeglasses. each
x-lens is constructed of 21 uniquely
engineered amplification optics to
while 4x the output was a tremendous achieve- ment for led grow lights, our secon- dary goal was to ensure even spread of light intensity throughout the area covered. to an ensure an even spread, the led's had to be spaced further apart compared to previous models, with light engines spread further from each other on the panel. the x-lens was also given a convex design opposed to a concave or flat design, as it gives the led more surface area and allows for a more even dispersion of light.

The final goal for the x-lens was to ensure the highest penetration possible, using the 400W, 600W, and 1000W HPS as our benchmark to beat. careful detail was put into the precise shaping of our x-lens to ensure maximum light projection. as a result our 336X-PRO emits the same amount of par light at 36", as a 1000W HPS at 48"! this means more light is delivered to the lower parts of your plants, providing deeper penetration for bigger fruits and heavier yields.

Copper Core Heatsinks. Improving Thermal Management for increased lifespan and output.

 

Junction Temperature vs. Relative Luminous Flux graph.

Much like computers, LED's are a chip-based technology and their operating temperature not only affects performance, but lifespan as well. one factor that determines temperature is how much current is passing through the led. The max current a 1W LED can handle is 350mA, and for 3W LED's it is 700mA. The higher the current passing through the led, the hotter it will become. It is therefore very important that 3W LED's have increased thermal manage-ment compared to 1W led's.


The graph above comes from Cree and shows how operating temperatures affect light output from led's. The optimal temperature for led's is between 77-90°F, where output remains between 98-100%. As temperature increases, efficiency decreases to where at only 150°F output has fallen 10%! this reduction in output efficiency also causes faster decay to the led. hydro grow has tested many led grow lights from competitors using 3W led's, and found that the majority of these lights operate between 145-170°F! LED's decay approximately 30% over 50,000 hours of use when operated between 77-122°F, but when temperatures rise above 122°F the rate of decay can increase dramatically. It is therefore very important that a led grow light operate below 122°F to ensure full lifespan.

 

copper heatsinkmaintaining led's at their optimal operating temperature requires heavy-duty heatsinking. our previous penetrator and penetrator pro lights were engineered by china, and produced with flat-plate, aluminum heatsinks like most other led grow lights from china. using this design our 345W PRO reached operating temperatures as high as 127°F, while our 345W reached 105°F. while these temperatures are tolerable, hydro grow is obsessed with having the highest efficiency possible, so we engineered our own cooling system.


three qualities of a heatsink that affect its ability to cool are the materials it is made of, the thickness of those materials, and the overall surface area of the heatsink. Thick aluminum was chosen as the primary metal for our heatsink due to its lightweight properties. We paired this aluminum with a 3mm copper insert, since copper has approximately 2x the conductivity of aluminum and helps reduce semidconductor temperatures. Copper also provides for a more even heat transfer from one surface to the next, reducing "hot spots". the heatsink was then finished with ultra-thin fins to increase surface area and dissipate heat faster.


because operating currents affect the need for cooling, hydro grow chose 3 different thickness heatsinks for our product lines. an 8mm heatsink was created for our eco and eco+ (0.5W) models, a 15 mm heatsink was created for our penetrator-x (1W) models, and a 20mm heatsink was created for our penetrator x-prO (3W) models. We then tested our 336X-PRO in a room where the ambient temperature was 78°F, and after 6 hours of use it reached operating temperatures of only 82°F! compared to the chinese engineering on our 345W PRO, our new 336X-PRO now operates a full 45°F (35%) cooler! This means 100% lifespan and 100% light output from all of our 1W and 3W models!

intelligence in modularity. Smarter Manufacturing meets consumer servicablity.
1. an approach that subdivides a system into smaller parts (modules) that can be created independently for use in multiple products.
2. composed of standardized units or sections for easy construction or flexible arrangement
3. composed of hardware modules that can be altered or replaced without affecting the remainder of the system.
 

Exclusive to hydro grow's extreme led grow lights is our patent-pending, modular manufacturing process. Rather than building a light where all led's are contained on a single pcb (printed circuit board), each of our 21-LED light engines has its own pcb to operate independent of the others. to build a module, each pcb is "sandwiched" between a heatsink and X-lens via phillips head screws. Once assembled and connected to a power supply, each module is essentially its own led grow light. our intelligent design is then finished off with clip-in electrical connectors, making assembly and dissasembly a snap.

 

The hydro grow modular design holds many advantages over competng led grow lights. For example, if a single pcb fails the rest of the light continues to operate as usual. There is no need to discontinue use of the light, and to diagnose the problem usually takes less than 15 minutes. Once diagnosed a new part is sent to you for clip-in or screw-in installation, which takes another 15-20 minutes. if dealing with the competition you may wait weeks to receive a functioning light after sending it in for repair, but thanks to our modular design there is no "down-time" in the event of a warranty issue.

 

 

The ability to upgrade parts is Another unique advantage to the hydro grow modular design. each component is made in such a way that if a new one is developed in the future (ie: a higher performance lens), you can simply purchase the upgraded part rather than buying a whole new light. each part is easily interchanged, requiring only a phillips head screwdriver for assembly.

 

it 's a fact that LED's double in efficiency every 3 years, yet have a rated lifespan of 50,000-100,000 hours. this means new led's will be available with twice the output of the ones you purchase today, long before they expire. Thanks to our Intelligent design you will be able to purchase new pcb's loaded with led's to upgrade your light. in this way our design can end up saving you thousands over the lifespan of our units compared to competing led grow lights.

Grew dense and full buds that looked amazing, juicy and soft. It seemed as if the light was forcing the plants to bud, but softly. I ripped a couple of flowers off a plant grown under the 84x and gave it my friend, He said, and I quote "This is the best gift I've ever got", end quote. I've tried a few Led brands but the Penetrator 84x is my favourite. It's the best light I've ever owned. Life would suck without it. A massive THANK YOU to Cammie and Hydro Grow LED family.!!

Best Leds i ever used.
At first i hesitated a little because of little on info about the new tech and all... what i came to realize after 2 weeks of use - the 63w unit works perfectly well!!! very good root grow, the stem is full of crystals and fat,very nice indeed' the fastest vegetative phase i ever seen - big leaf nice green healthy colors... i used Cfl's before compared 2 weeks of growth with led and the plant almost 2 times bigger. also the main plus for me with my micro grow environment: 1.NO HEAT literally, little warm to touch after many hours of use. 2.No need for cab ventilation the unit have 3 fans blow air from the sides.(good air circulation inside) 3.Much less power draw to get same result you probably gonna need 300_w+ with cfl maybe even more. for the last i will defiantly get another next round,when expanding. keep up the good work Hydro Grow Led. very best :D hardgrow.

Exceeded my expectations
I grew in a small cabenet under 4 cfls. The curly ones. And they were hot. Not hps hot but hot enough to stress my plants. I studied the forums and learned all I could about everything from soil to lighting. Still I was only able to get 1/4 to 1/2 oz. from 2 plants. I was skeptical about led lighting. I read lots of bad reviews about led lights. Lights from fly by night companys and ebay. I was willing to roll the dice and try these lights after reading success stories from others who used them. When I recieved my 63w led my two plants were almost dead. I transplanted them and placed them under the led. I noticed in a few moments that there was NO heat from these lights. Within 7 days these plants were not only thriving but they had entered a period of profuse flowering. Unbelievable. I was about to experience a very sucessful grow. The yield was just under 2oz. dry. sticky and stinky....Not bad for heat stressed plants. This LED light is outstanding. Thank you Hydro Grow.

I love these clusters!
I have had two of these lights for quite awhile now. I have a 1st and 2nd generation. Together they out perform my 150hps to say the least. The heat generated is awesome (almost nothing); all of a sudden the summer ain't so bad. They also don't take up a lot of room in a cabinet, if mounted correctly. The quality goes through the roof with these things too; looks like it was done outdoor under the Humboldt sun! Does rock hard mean anything to anyone out there? Oh yeah the customer service here is top notch, just email and you will be answered. Don't buy inferior leds go to HGL(Cammie), that's that!

great light for a microcab
i have a 1st generation unit and have had a couple of good harvests already - around 1 gram per watt with low to moderate yielding strains in a scrog. low heat and good coverage make it ideal for a small cab.

Micro Gardening with BIG YIELDS
I could not believe the difference in my little micro garden when I switched from 81W of CFL to just 63W of tailored LED. Huge vegetation and beautiful fruits. All in a space that was 20" x 12" x 16" -- I was going to let a friend borrow this, but changed my mind when I finished my harvest; he can buy his own! :)
